So the new engine is in and she started first crank… HOWEVER, when I connected the town water, the exhaust gasket started spraying water out of the top… I have lost count of how many times the exhaust has been on and off this machine and I never had this issue… the only thing I can think of is that, when I was trying to clean everything up and clean all the mating surfaces as I put the ski back together, I removed (scraped off), what looked like and aluminum gasket… other than that I put Loctite 518 gasket maker on both surfaces and put a brand new paper gasket on… it’s hard to torque the bolts down super tight, but I did what I could (max) with an Allen key… any thoughts/ideas as to how to stop this? Do I need another aluminum gasket as well as the paper one?… double/triple gaskets?… black gasket maker instead of red?… thanks in advance for all the help as always!l
